Nonsense.  Theo can't prove that that happened; it's just another one of the
hoary old scare stories that he pulls out every time he runs out of other bad
stuff to say about NetBSD.  His personal animosity to the NetBSD Project is
a matter of legend.

I mean, I could say that "peter honeyman blew up a bomb in Centennial Park
during the Olympics."  Then Jason could say that "people who believe Thor's
Centennial Park claims would hold that the facts are indeed public, and that
your refutation simply does not exist."  It's a "When did you stop beating
your wife" argument.  It's slimy.
